Kawaii Drawing is an adorable tutorial and drawing guide for a huge number of cute line drawn subjects by Becky Castañeda. Released 24th Oct 2023 by Quarto on their Walter Foster imprint, it's 112 pages and is available in paperback format. 

It's a truly accessible and beginner friendly guide and readers of all ages will be able to draw cute doodles and small drawings pretty easily. The author introduces the kawaii (cute) style clearly and understandably along with a short tutorial on tools and materials choices. 

The tutorials themselves are arranged in chapters and include both character drawings (bunny, cute cat, kitty, mermaid, etc) as well as objects (trees, flowers, sushi, cakes, and more). Each short tutorial includes step-by-step drawing instructions with accompanying explanatory text. They really are cute and easy to understand.

This would make a great selection for public or school library acquisition, home use, as well as for child-minders, babysitters, or anyone who would like to improve their drawing ability with the youngsters in their lives. Doodling is a fun hobby and this book will get readers drawing quickly and easily.

Four and a half stars.
